32bits downloads is still available and not difficult to find, so I
don't think that is a problem. Most people have 64bit hardware and should
use the 64bit version, so I think it makes sense to have it as the
default. Especially since some people don't know what the difference
between the two is and would just pick a random one if there was no
default.
